We in the South are still traditionalists in many ways. My boyfriend and I have lived together for close to a year now. I get up at 5 am to make his breakfast and lunch and get his coffee. I then go wake him up and put the news on for him. Once he’s up and in the shower I get my kids’ breakfast ready. Then I get ready for work. When I get home I usually walk around the yard with him for about 30 minutes and then start dinner. Now I work a 40 hour week. He works as a superviser in construction and can work 25-50 hours a week. Do I mind taking on the extra work at home? No. He works in weather I wouldn’t dream of being in…hot and cold. His job is more physically demanding and mentally taxing. He has to be able to walk 2 stories high on pieces of wood an inch thick and 4 inches wide. He puts his life at risk when he works to provide for us. So I don’t mind doting on him, I love him. I know if I take care of him he’ll be there to provide for me tomorrow as well as be able to relax with on the weekends. So, please don’t look at all Southern women as doormats. We know what we’re doing.

I have seen white people as well as black people snatch their children up and pop bottoms or the back of the head for misbehaving. I have received such and given to my own children. What you may not see is that parent has probably already told that child not to ask for anything while they are in the store. To reinforce the behavior by ‘just’ telling them no is not sufficient. They were given the warning prior to walking in the store. I have seen store managers call DHR on a mother for spanking her child after he ran down an aisle knocking displays over. She was black, he(the manager) was white. When the police showed up she told them she would beat her child in public or at home and teach him anyway she could to prevent him from turning out like a street hoodlum. She then collected her things and walked out the store. The police officer just grinned and said she reminded him of his mama(he was black). To me its a matter of humiliation/discipline. You know not to misbehave in the store because your mom will have no shame in shaming you in front of complete strangers the way you just shamed her.
